Out of the 56 students who participated, 12 went away with awards including trophies, gift certificates, honors recital appearances, ribbons, and scholarships for free lessons. Five students received admittance to the Brigham Young University string festival summer camp. Everyone received rating sheets which acted as a report card for the year. The winners for the college division were David Mueller, student of Shi-Hwa Wang; Michael Barrandey, student of Micheal Palumbo; and Boyd Walsh, student of Paul Joines; all are teachers in WSU's music department. Advanced non-college student winners were Andreas Kipp DILBERT HA5 AGREED TO TALK TO THE CLASS ABOUT EXCUIN6 CAREERS IN THE FIELD OF ENGINEERING ! ) and Lacy Burton, students of Joines; Ryan Clarke, student of Jack Ashton; Robert Ricks, student of Amy Wilhelm; and Stephanie Armstrong, student of Wang.

Elementary non-college student winners were Joseph Welch, student of Keven Cardon; Katie ShortandAnnWhatcottstudents of Clarke; Jamie Child, student of Joines; and Kris ta Empey, student of Wheelwright. Wang, who is head of the American String Teachers Association (AST A) at WSU, said that the whole festival was very successful."We wanted to create more interest in string instruments and recruitment for private lessons... Ogden doesn't traditionally have strong support for string pro grams, so we pulled students from all over thestate to generate interest," Wang said. The ASTA program at Weber is becoming more widely recognized and has been mentioned in the ASTA national magazine. The festival also presented a range of age groups from as young as 5-year-old Savana Burton who played harp. The adjudicators for the festival were Barbara William, professor of music at BYU, Warren Burton, professor of musicat Utah State University, and Cindy Petty who is over the musical program at Bingham High School. The judges rated the students, but also took time to talk to each student individually to give them personal instruction. "It was a very educational festival for every one involved," Wang adde., "I wanted everyone to feel that it was a positive experience, which it was... hopefully this will continue for years to come."
